Riata ranch is an outstanding, turn-key South Texas ranch that is ready to become your next great family hunting property or commercial hunting operation. This high fence ranch, consisting of 1514 acres, has some of the best native whitetail genetics that you can find anywhere in the state. With exceptional deer hunting, intentional improvements, an abundance of water and high-quality browse, this is the ideal property for the avid outdoorsman or those seeking a potential income producing hunting ranch. Riata Ranch has several, well thought out improvements that make this ranch ready to enjoy on day one. At the highest point of the ranch sits the beautiful, custom built home. This 2896 sq. ft. home has stained concrete floors and granite counter tops with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an open concept great room, kitchen and dining area. The house also includes covered parking, a screened-in back porch and fire pit that overlook the largest lake on the property. A short drive down a gravel road takes you to the 40x120 shop and a mobile home that is used for additional guests. The mobile home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and living area, and a covered front porch. The shop has about 3000 sq. ft. of shed parking, one roll up door for enclosed parking and storage, and a 20x40 cleaning area. The cleaning area was thoughtfully designed with 3 electric winches on trollies, a large walk-in cooler, an ice maker, a countertop with sink, and a great drain system for clean-up. Riata ranch has an abundance of surface water. There are 4 large tanks/lakes that vary from 2 to 15 acres in size. Three of these lakes were dug out even deeper over the years and have consistently held water through severe periods of drought. In addition, a shared Carrizo water well that is situated on a neighboring ranch, fills a 20,000-gallon storage tank which gravity feeds 7 miles of water lines throughout the ranch. These lines currently feed 7 strategically placed water troughs around the ranch, 2 troughs for the DMP pens, and a newly installed 5,000-gallon storage tank that supplies water to the homes and shop area. You can't grow big whitetail without proper vegetation, and this ranch is no exception. Numerous high quality browse species can be found on this ranch including Black Brush, Guayacan, Coma, Granjeno, White Brush, Guajillo and several others. Over the past decade, Riata Ranch has prioritized making intentional improvements to the natural browse by using methods such as roller chopping, root plowing, shredding, and spraying of undesirable species such as prickly pear and tumbleweed.
